3 hours If a language is a dialect with an army and a navy, then among the many dialects that make up a language, the standard variety has the largest military. This course is all about the phenomenon of standard languages. The standard variety is primarily written with the goal of providing linguistic uniformity in the face of social diversity. Standard languages are often thought of as prestigious, most beautiful, and may serve as a symbol of national identity while also being the official language of a country. We will analyze and discuss the birth and development of language standards, the development of individual standard languages, and we will see emerging historicaltheoretical patterns. Some standards were initiated by kings, othersby intellectuals of peasant origin. Of over 50 present standard languages in Europe, a number will be investigated, compared, and classified: English, German, Albanian, Estonian, Greek, Yiddish, Italian, French, Spanish, Lithuanian, Polish, Ukrainian, Norwegian, Croatian, Serbian, Luxembourgish, Russian, etc. Restricted to Undergrad - Chicago.

Intro to Translation Theory "Introduction to Translation Theory" This course offers an introduction to the field of translation studies. We will focus both on the history of translation studies and the central questions that concern the field today. This will include a survey of major movements, influential theories and theorists, and key concepts and terminology. Students will also be introduced to the practical issues that professional translators face today, including the blessing and curse of machine translation and generative AI. Throughout the semester we will also consider the central but sometimes invisible role that translation plays in our multilingual world, not just in literature and publishing but in politics and diplomacy, business, science and technology, and the media.
